That will not necessarily scale, and I wouldn't recommend it - your "backup node" will need as much disk space as an entire replica of the cluster data. For a cluster with a couple of nodes that may be OK, for dozens of nodes, probably not. You also lose the ability to restore individual nodes - th

There is another way. You create a cassandra node in it's own datacentre, then any changes going to the main cluster will be replicated to this node. You can backup from this node. In the event of a disaster the data from both clusters and wiped and then replayed to the individual node. The data wi

There isn’t a lot of “actual documentation” on the act of backing up, but I did research for my own company into the act of backing up and unfortunately, you’re not going to have a similar setup as Oracle.  There are reasons for this, however. If you have more than one replica of the data, that

Hi Maria, It depends which backup software and hardware you plan to use. Do you store your data on DAS or SAN? Some hints regarding Cassandra is either to drain the node to backup or take a Cassandra snapshot and then to backup this snapshot. We backup our data on tape but we also store our data
